Because the users will be opening PDF files and not images !

I am surprised that Google has not thought of adding a native API to "keep up" with the other side (IOS and iPad).

I am needing to display PDF files of sheet music within my application
- this might be a scanned image
- or a real "print" to PDF format, which means mixed text and image

Commercial libraries are way over priced for what I could ever hope for in terms of revenue as this will be distributed in France to evangelical/protestant churches.
So I will not be able to charge high prices for this.

Can anyone recommend a good, robust PDF display engine which will allow me to determine how the user can navigate within the file, zoom levels, etc ?
Or perhaps there is a commercial engine provider who would be willing to make a commercial gesture for this case ? :-D
